A fresh beef Quarter Pounder with cheese, crisp lettuce, Roma tomato slices, mayo, pickles and onions.
The Deluxe version of the Quarter Pounder adds shredded leaf lettuce, Roma tomatoes and creamy mayo to the classic build, so it eats more like a sit-down restaurant burger. It keeps the pickles, onions and two slices of cheese.
The extra toppings and mayo add around 110 calories and usually cost about 70 cents more than the regular Quarter Pounder with Cheese.
